My Latest. Stop asking what happened in the moments before police are filmed brutally beating, choking, assaulting, discriminating against, and killing Black people. Nothing, nothing at all, warrants the police brutality we are witnessing in 2018.https://theintercept.com/2018/05/14/waffle-house-police-video-starbucks-arrest-black-men/ …

7. At the root of this question of, "But what happened before the video was being filmed" is the poisonous thinking that "Black misbehavior" warrants brutality and murder without trial or due process. That's the bedrock of lynching.

8. Because day after day after day, we see American police peacefully arrest fully armed white men who've actually murdered people. Those men then get meals, attorneys, doctors, evaluations, compassionate op-eds, then trials by a jury of their peers.

9. The operating philosophy of American policing is that violent, murderous white men deserve safe, measured, thorough policing but that Black people, no matter the situation, be it an argument at Waffle House, or the music too loud, simply don't deserve such fair, safe treatment

at what point are we allowed to defend ourselves from the criminal abuse perpetrated by police? any attempts are called "resisting arrest" and give crooked police unjust cause to beat us or kill us in the name of "serving justice"

Call internal affairs. My police friends have told me that that is the only way to get these cases investigated. Of course posting videos online raises awareness so do that as well.

I hear you man but look at the what happened if the vehicle is at full speed that obviously means he was running to get away from them! I hear you on the choking part but police have always abused criminals and yes even white! Google some don’t rely on the news

The news is biased they only show videos when the person is black but I’ve even watched an episode of cops and us marshalls and have seen white men get beat up too! There was a video of a white man that robbed a bank being gunned down but now all of a sudden it’s removed
